Admission varies. If you would like to do just the Museum which includes 22 acres of Butte and mining history, admission is $8.50 for adults. We also have a 65 foot underground tour and a 100 foot underground tour with admission at $17.00 for adults or $21.00 adults. The underground tour admission is all inclusive and includes the Museum. We also have senior and youth prices.
How baby-friendly is the one-hour underground mine tour? We're coming to Butte in May when our kid will be 8 months old and would love to see the mines! But would that be a bad idea with a baby? I assume that the mines aren't stroller friendly and so we'd have to carry him, right? Is the tour environment conducive to little kids or would that detract from the experience of the rest of the people on the tour? And lastly (worst case scenario), do you have to go through the whole tour once you start it, or could you leave early if your kid was being too distruptive? Thanks in advance
